Classic Mini Cooper Styling in Scale

The Mini Cooper has long been admired for compact engineering and go-kart like agility. This 1/10 scale Tamiya replica channels that same spirit, modelling details from the BMC-era cars while fitted to a contemporary MB-01 chassis. The result is a faithful scale appearance combined with practical chassis engineering.

Flexible MB-01 Platform for Setup Play

The MB-01 lets you pick from three wheelbase settings and supports front- or rear-drive configurations, giving room to experiment with balance. Its symmetrical four-wheel double wishbone suspension and simple friction dampers deliver predictable feedback for drive adjustments and routine maintenance.

Scale Fitment and Running Gear

The lightweight polycarbonate Mini Cooper Racing shell sits on 8-spoke wheels shod with 60D radial tyres to provide authentic contact patch feel. This is an assembly kit only; you will need a 2-channel transmitter, steering servo and an appropriate battery and charger to complete your build.
